recommend a tool to match the tips I have...

[Gareth J]

My lathe came with some indexable tips as per the pic:

The boxes have sandvic cormorant on the back.

While attempting (and mostly failing) to sharpen a carbide tool this evening to hack through something hard. I figured it'd be sensible to get something to match the tips I have.

Trouble is I don't know what they are really.

Any suggestions for a tool that will carry them would be great. Needs to fit in a Dickson tool holder (t2 I think)

Box says TNMG, just search that:

The link from MattH is for a tool for larger TNMG tips. To hold your tips you need holder for TNMG 1604 inserts. The first two number "16" are the size of the insert , the second two "04" are the thickness , the last two "04" are the corner radius 0.4 mm in this case. Also the 2525 designation in the description is the shank size of the tool and also the centre height . I don't know the size of your lathe but it is easier to pack up a smaller tool than to lower too large a one.
Hope this helps Mike.
